Nickles, also spelled as nickels, refers to the plural form of the noun "nickel." A nickel, in the context of the United States currency system, is a monetary unit worth five cents. It is one of the most common and lowest-denomination coins in circulation.
A nickel is typically made of a cupronickel alloy composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. The coin has a smooth edge and a diameter of approximately 21.21 mm (0.835 inches). The obverse side or the front usually features the portrait of a former U.S. president, while the reverse side depicts a variety of symbols representing different aspects of American culture, history, or nature.
The term "nickles" is used to describe a specific quantity or collection of these five-cent coins. It can indicate multiple nickels collectively, such as when stating an amount of money consisting solely of five-cent coins. It may also refer to a more general group of individuals' nickels, belonging to various people.
The use of the term "nickles" extends beyond its monetary sense. Figuratively, it can refer to something that is of low value or not particularly significant when compared to higher denominations or more substantial matters. In this context, the word "nickles" is metaphorically employed to imply something relatively small or trivial.
The word "nickles" is a misspelling of the plural form of the word "nickel", which refers to a unit of currency in various countries, as well as a type of coin. The correct plural form is "nickels".
The term "nickel" originated from the German word "kupfernickel", which means "copper demon" or "devil's copper". This name was given to a particular mineral called niccolite, which had a similar appearance to copper ore but did not contain any copper. It was discovered in 1751 by Swedish chemist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. Cronstedt decided to name this new element "nickel" to differentiate it from copper. Eventually, nickel was used to create the five-cent coin, hence the name "nickel" for that specific currency unit.
